Snail mound
August 2nd, 2008
While I was Ireland I came across this mound which is very reminiscent of the snail mound in The Garden of Cosmic Speculation by Charles Jencks (the photo below illustrates the snail mound). Charles Jencks snail mound was inspired by DNA and is recognised as one of the most important and influential gardens of the 21st century. It was fascinating seeing something similar naturally sculpted rather than man-made. I presume erosion by sheep and the weather shaped this mound. This sculpting of the land inspired the amphitheatre effect we achieved in the Redhill garden where we sunk the trampoline in to the ground.
